RBK750 -> RBS750 Speed

Hello, I have a RBS750 connected to a RBK750 on a 5GHz backhaul. I tested the speed on the router setup page to be around 980Mbps. I have a 1000Mbps connection so that speed more or less checks out.

I have my PC connected to the RBS750 via ethernet cable. The PC's LAN card is a Gigabit and the cable is CAT 6. However, when I run speedtests on Ookla I only get max 380Mbps on my PC.

Any settings I can look at to improve the speed on the PC?

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

    There maybe some speed degradation between the RBR and RBS due to wireless distances and building materials. Not sure you can do with that.
